"I really enjoy this hotel. The location is great. Beach is nice, resort is small. We did notice it was a lot busier in September than February and staff were not quite as friendly as they were. But I do need to call out a few that stand out- servers- Oscar, Luis, David. And the tall chef at teppanyaki, he was fabulous!! The lady who works at the royal desk is so friendly and helpful. There was a great female server in Royal too. Armando in entertainment is always entertaining and he said everything in English so we understood. Our teenage daughter even enjoyed it."
